I don't think that "in order to access A/B/C you need permission to access A/B and A, too" is an unreasonable restriction. The magic flattening always bugged me from a UI perspective, honestly.
agreed. i put some stupid code into signup.module to deal with weird UI problems that came from this magic flattening for users that have "administer signups" but not "administer site" (or whatever it's called) perms. i'd be happy to clean it all up in 6.x if the flattening went away. and yes, needing to have access to A and A/B to get to A/B/C seems totally reasonable to me, too, especially given the split of admin menu perms into "see admin pages" and "have admin rights" as described by chx's original message... my only minor quibble with that is that i'm not sure just having "see admin pages" should give you access to the logs. i could imagine wanting to give a role permission to admin comments, but not necessarily see all site logs. -derek
